Archaeologists exploring a shipwreck off the coast of Poland have discovered an ancient bottle of booze that's thought to be 200-years-old. Even more exciting, it's still drinkable.
The one-litre stoneware bottle is stamped with its original 'Selters' brand – a name referring to the ancient spa town of Selters in the Taunus mountains of Germany which has been famous for its naturally carbonated soda water for nearly 1,000 years.
A chemical analysis of the liquid contained within the bottle suggests that it's a mix of water and spirits – either vodka or jenever gin – with an alcoholic content of 14 per cent.
The bottle was found along with fragments of cargo off the Gulf of Gdańsk. Experts aren't sure how the alcohol got into the perfectly preserved bottle, but suggest it could have been poured in after purchase sometime between 1806 and 1830 – a very early mixed drink.
Researchers speaking to Polish science site Nauka W Polsce confirmed that despite its age the alcohol was still drinkable. "This means it would not cause poisoning," said National Maritime Museum archaeologist Tomasz Bednarz. "Apparently, however, it does not smell particularly good."
This recent discovery is notable for being so well-preserved, but scientists have found archaeological evidence of alcohol production dating back at least 7,000 years.
Six nine-litre jars discovered in a Neolithic home in Hajji Firuz Tepe (modern Iran) are thought to constitute the oldest evidence of brewing booze, but for tipple that's actually drinkable you can't stray much further than the last couple of centuries.
One of the most notable examples of ancient booze (a good round up by io9 can be founder here) comes from 2010 when 168 bottles of champagne were salvaged from a shipwreck off the Finnish archipelago of Aaland.
Official tasting notes for the bottles reported that one vintage (Veuve Clicquot) was light and floral while another (Juglar) had "notes of orange and raisin, like a Christmas cake".
Sommeliers who were summoned to taste the ancient drinks commented that the dark and cool conditions of the shipwreck had proved ideal for storing the bottles - although fetching them up was a little inconvenient.Reuse content

SBIR Phase I: Nanostructured Calcium Phosphate Injectable Cements for Treatment of Osteoporosis
Award Information

Research Institution:
AbstractThis Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) Phase I project aims to develop an injectable orthopedic cement made from oligomers containing cross-linkable functional groups and a reinforcing phase of calcium phosphate nanocrystals that can be injected into low strength bone to provide mechanical strength and bioactivity. This system will have excellent handling properties, remain localized at the injection site, and rapidly harden at body temperature without chemical initiators and with a minimal heat generation, unlike current bone cements. The research will investigate the chemistry of these novel oligomer systems and the effect of calcium phosphate nanocrystal morphology, surface chemistry, and loading by examining properties such as cure time, cure temperature, heat of reaction, rheological behavior, chemical structure, strength and in vitro bioactivity. Commercially, the application provides an alternative surgical cement to what is in current use (in situ polymerization of methylmethacrylate) for total joint replacement. While current methods have been used safely, as the need for a surgical has spread to more sensitive tissues, such as the spine, and new procedures are developed, numerous safety and efficacy issues need to be addressed. About 700,000 vertebral fractures occur annually; patients not responsive to conservative treatment are potential candidates for minimally invasive procedures that use current bone cements off-label to treat vertebral compression fractures. However, leakage of liquid from low viscosity bone cements can result in soft tissue damage as well as nerve root pain and compression. Other reported complications, generally associated with the use of bone cements in the spine, include pulmonary embolism, respiratory and cardiac failure, abdominal intrusions/ileus, and death. The proposed project will alleviate many of these issues and open new methods and mechanisms for the treatment of osteoporosis.

This paper presents the utilization of empirical mode decomposition (EMD) of hyperspectral images to increase the classification accuracy using support vector machine (SVM)-based classification. EMD has been shown in the literature to be particularly suitable for nonlinear and nonstationary signals and is used in this paper to decompose hyperspectral image bands into several intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) and a final residue. EMD is utilized in this paper to improve hyperspectral-image-classification accuracy by effectively exploiting the feature that EMD performs a decomposition that is spatially adaptive with respect to intrinsic features. This paper presents two different approaches for improved hyperspectral image classification making use of EMD. In the first approach, IMFs corresponding to each hyperspectral image band are obtained and the sums of lower order IMFs are used as new features for classification with SVM. In the second approach, the pieces of information contained in the first and second IMFs of each hyperspectral image band are combined using composite kernels for SVM classification with higher accuracy.

Everybody wants to be famous. Sometimes a name is all it takes.
Short Description:
First it was funny, then annoying and confusing, now it has become a part of her life. For plus-size model Elizabeth Taylor, having the same name as the one time 'most famous woman in the world" came with trials and tribulations. This is her story.
" I remember being a little girl and having adults bend down and say. Oh Elizabeth Taylor. Where is Richard Burton. So from a very young age I always wondered who this character Richard Burton was."
When Elizabeth Claire Taylor grew up she was obviously aware of her famous namesake. First it was funny, then annoying and confusing. She tried changing her name to Elizabeth Bennett, adopting the name from the street on which she had grown up in Long Beach, California. But then she changed her mind and embraced her name, taking the stage with a one woman homage to the original Elizabeth Taylor, "Finding Elizabeth Taylor". Talking about her struggle with weight, body image and romantic issues a deeper connection with the other Elizabeth becomes apparent.
"I share a passion for sex, and men and sensuality, which has come older in my life. I share a passion for jewelry and glam, and making an entrance and also with activism and that's Elizabeth Taylor's great legacy to me."
Website from Elizabeth Claire Taylor.
Behind the scenes:
Kill your darlings. That's one of the hardest lessons in video storytelling. Originally I wanted to use the beautiful 'Who's afraid of Virgina Woolf' theme music by Alex North. It had all the elements I wanted, some melancholy, the connection with Elizabeth Taylor, the acting bit...but then I showed it to some people and they wondered where I had found that quirky elevator/shopping channel music. First I didn't want to give in but when I didn't get a reply back from rights holder ascap I saw that as the ultimate sign to start looking for a good alternative. I landed with this sparse and beautiful compositions with a strikingly cinematic quality from Peter Rudenko. Here's his website: alonetone.com/author

I just LOVE this theme. It's so pretty! :) Thanks for making it. Anyway, onto my question:
Before I attempt to edit the codes, is there an easy way to move the menu bar to the top? :)
I just LOVE this theme. It's so pretty! :) Thanks for making it. Anyway, onto my question:
Before I attempt to edit the codes, is there an easy way to move the menu bar to the top? :)
Glad you like the theme! There isn't a way to do this easily but that might make a nice theme option... I'll consider it for a future release!
hello ,
thank you sixhours for this theme. like you can see in my blog Lolly's flavours i use your theme in grey and red. I would like to put the sidebar or the menu on the right . Could you help me to do this? I would like change the color of the font ( little bit more dark because my background is almost the same color) and finally could you create a button twiiter, facebook ... in the same style of your theme ?
I'm sorry for my bad english.
Best regards.
Ps: i would like add music on the left do you think is possible ?
Pretty much everything you want is possible but would require extensive CSS customization. I'd suggest posting your request on jobs.wordpress.net if you're not familiar with WordPress/HTML/CSS. I am no longer accepting freelance work so unfortunately I couldn't help with something like this.
an easy way to move the navbar to the top:
(this is best done with a child theme so that future updates won't erase it, but you could just do it in the original CSS and then never update.)
find this line of code (starts at line 897):
.navbar {
width: 100%;
background-color: #593929;
bottom: 0px;
z-index: 100;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
border-top: 2px solid #422619;
change "bottom" to "top" in line 900
it should now look like this:
.navbar {
width: 100%;
background-color: #593929;
top: 0px;
z-index: 100;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
border-top: 2px solid #422619;
that's it!
one note: it may appear the navbar disappears while you are logged into wordpress. this is due to the small top navbar from wordpress that drops down actually covering the very top of the site and thus the theme navbar. log out of wordpress and you will be able to see the navbar has moved to the top!
it may also behoove you to add some padding to the top so the menu does not overlap the header. i accomplished it thusly:
change the line from
padding: 0px;
padding: 10px 0px 20px;
this will add a 10px padding to the top, 0px to the left and right, and 20px to the bottom to space it off the main body. if you wish to have the header touching the main body do this instead:
padding-top: 10px;
hope this all helps!
to see what my site now looks like with these changes, see http://www.billboyles.info
actually i was viewing it wrong so the above code padding fix doesn't work. it looked like it did when i was logged in, but when i was logged out it didn't. for some reason i cant seem to delete or edit the comment.
finally fixed the code. here is all the code fixed so nothing overlaps and it all looks decent:
.navbar {
width: 100%;
height: 30px;
background-color: #593929;
top: 0px;
z-index: 100;
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
border-top: 2px solid #422619;
.searchbar {
float: right;
padding-top: 4px;
padding-bottom: 4px;
.searchbar input[type="text"] {
width: 100px;
#searchform #searchsubmit {
width: 22px;
height: 22px;
border-radius: 16px;
border: 0px none;
border-bottom: 0px solid rgba(51,51,51,.2);
border-right: 2px solid rgba(51,51,51,.2);
font-weight: bold;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
text-transform: uppercase;
padding: 0px;
color: #fff;
sorry for all the posts. if i could find a way to edit old posts i would have just done that. hope this helps everyone!
Any way to move the mobile version of the nav bar to the top?

Hello Fellow TheatreGoers,
I hope this note finds you digesting a great holiday weekend.
As Thanksgiving comes to a close, my "what I'm grateful for" is top of mind. Becoming involved with this club is at the top of my list. It started out pretty simply with the desire to see live performances with other people/not by myself + live the advice in the following quote:
"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experiences" - Eleanor Roosevelt - First Lady of the United States 1933-1945.
Sometimes you get what you wish for - summer and early autumn packed with many theatre related experiences. Initially, the idea with the Fringe Fest was to see 5 - 10 shows. Attending the First-Time Fringer workshop with 3 volunteer presenters that see 50-75 shows/festival broke open the ceiling of possibilities. Personally, I saw 37 shows at the Fringe...what an experience! Like a B-12 shot or attending a creative retreat. The best-in-show from the festival - saw every one of the 37 shows with 1 to 15 other members of our lovely club. No shows alone...how great is that!
The Journal reported record ticket sales for the Fringe this year. We have a poll on the site to gauge our impact. If you'd like to add your Fringe tix tally to the poll, see the link:
#2 on my "what I'm grateful for" is the spirit of participation that has emerged amongst our merry band of TheatreGoers. Members, new and less new, are coming out to events and pre/post show get-togethers!
The best for last on my gratitude list - a round table of co-organizers formed over the summer months. Your organizing team has co-hosted almost 100 TheatreGoer events since mid-June...yes, that is a huge #...only a team of people can accomplish that! Heartfelt thanks to Adhikar, Beth, Ann McC, Cliff, Julia, Linda, Kim, Nelson, Paul, Roy, Sandy, Sheryl and Victoria for your contributions to making this a really fun club to be a part of.
What's next? Check out the event listings. Have an idea for an event...post an event and/or contact an organizer to get some help. At TheatreGoers, we are big on participation.
Many Thanks,
Steve and the Knites of the Organizing Round Table

Traffic Chill in Nob Hill
By Carolyn Carlson
Traffic along Central through Nob Hill will just have to slow down. The City Council approved the installation of two stop lights at the intersections of Wellesley and Morningside. The lights are needed for safe pedestrian crossings, according to Councilor Rey Garduño. At the Wednesday, Sept. 9 meeting, several business owners and residents spoke in support, saying pedestrians have to "haul ass" across Central because there are not enough safe crossing points. A couple of councilors griped about Nob Hill getting the lights without a recent traffic engineering study, saying they want more lights in their districts, too. In the end, there was unanimous approval.

Where the Hell Am I?
By Juan Maloso
Hi, my name is Juan Maloso and I live nowhere.
I am what you call a city slicker, but my chosen line of work has taken me to small towns across America. I move more than Mongolian sheep herders. I never get to really know anyone outside of work, and before long, I move on.
Most of these locales are at the very least semi-rural and at the most, the country.
Since I was born and raised on concrete, the country is often a source of amusement—the amusement of the country residents at me.
Odds & Ends
By Devin D. O'Leary
Dateline: China—Whatever you do, don't shoplift from a Chinese Wal-Mart. A customer at a new Wal-Mart superstore in Jingdezhen apparently died at the hand of Wal-Mart employees who suspected her of stealing. According to the China Daily, employees surveilled suspected shoplifter Yu Xiaochun for several minutes before approaching her. As Yu exited the store, one Wal-Mart employee stopped her and requested a receipt for some merchandise. Yu handed over the receipt, then snatched it back, saying no one was wearing a Wal-Mart uniform and she didn't believe they worked there. In response, four more Wal-Mart employees allegedly gathered around the woman and began beating her. Yu somehow managed to send an alert to her family through her cellphone. When Yu's mother and sister showed up at the store, the staff members were allegedly still pummeling her. Police eventually arrived and put a stop to the incident. Yu, 37, was rushed to a nearby hospital but died of her wounds three days later. Police say two of the security guards involved in the incident have been detained.

I never had it in my head to vote for Mayor Marty, but especially not after today. I got ANOTHER campaign recording phone call to MY BUSINESS and it tied up my line after I hung up. I'm pretty sure it is illegal to call from a blocked line to a number on the Do Not Call list (the Caller ID said 505-000-0000) and have the recording not release the line for some time after hanging up. I can't add blocked lines to my call rejection service, but I can reject Mayor Marty when I vote.

It was a mistake.
That's what it was.
A giant, brewing, boiling, mistake.
"I'd arrest that pompous bastard. He's lying, Rael. You should have told me this before the goddamn briefing."
Rael's fingers brush over the edge of his notebook and flip the pages repeatedly while he thought it all over.
He didn't bother replying to Han; his head was too wrapped up with worry to.
"Rael, did you hear me?"
"Yes." He replied.
Rael wanted to explain to Han what it was like to foresee a mistake your daughter was going to make. But it wasn't particularly enriching for someone like Han to go into such detail.
He trusted Tali. Loved her immensely. Proud of her.
Though her judgment had been… under some ambiguity lately. More so after the schism she developed in her behavior since returning from pilgrimage.
She was a different woman now.
She still stammered apologies endlessly around him. Still wrung her hands anxiously whenever she'd get nervous or backed into an endless conversation about stuff she never liked talking about.
But the attitude changed.
Two years ago she'd happily sit by and listen to a lecture or converse about Eezo-block theory or the latest shipment of supplies they could use to repair or replace something.
Now it was about how fast she could get her work done so she could retire for the night.
The fire was gone.
It worried him. So drastically in fact, that Rael had made attempts at trying to change and reconcile his ways after Shala had called him out on his lack of attention. But the signals he received from Tali in return for his efforts were shrugged off and ignored. Likely too wrapped up with Shepard's death.
Rael used to label her with a wide magnitude of qualities.
Unyielding perseverance.
Stubborn even (A trait of her mother's).
He'd never openly expressed his praise. Not directly in front of her anyways.
She didn't need it. And he realized, years after it was too late, that he should have. He should have praised her the way a father should.
But it was different today. And it was obvious why.
The two hours that Rael was giving the briefing, he'd noticed, from every glance he'd give her, that her mood mirrored the Tali he'd known back three years before.
As a father, it did well to see the most important person in your life look happy.
On the other hand, it made him realize it was one of the one things he'd failed as a father. The time he made Tali smile as a child could only have been numbered in the dozens.
After his wife died…
It was never.
Shepard had been the 'tipping of the bucket', if lack for better word. The 'helping hand' or the 'ladder of reprieve'.
From what Rael could tell, John was helping her climb out of the hole she had fallen into.
If Rael were to do anything other than begrudgingly accept this 'relationship', Tali would, without a doubt, bury herself willingly in her hole rather than climb out.
"He's still here. If you want to talk to him, now's the time." Han said, interrupting Rael's aimless pondering, "I won't say anymore. Though the best place, I believe, for Shepard, is in a goddamn holding cell. At least until you can make the determination of where he stands and whether or not he is legitimate. The Real Shepard was goddamn hero. Either he's turned into a lying loser, or an imposter working for Cerberus."
"Or maybe's he's telling the truth." Rael said mostly to himself.
The words sounded empty.
Han gathered his personal belongings, ignored what Rael just said, and leveled one last stagnant stare at the other admiral. "See you until next time, Rael."
Rael nodded as he left and finally put his notebook back on the table with a meager sigh.
He contemplated his choices, then decided to page his assistant.
"Keenlah. Please have Shepard escorted to my office at his next available opportunity. I wish to speak with him. Personally."
"And it was right here." Tali said through a smile as she watched the Rayya's irrigation system sway and rumble with a sludge of a biomass.
"Wow…" John replied. He peered at the dozens of valves and buttons to try and make out what they said. Then he remembered they were in a different language.
"Tell me what it tasted like." John asked.
"The sweetest and softest thing I've ever tasted. Literally melts in your mouth. I'd fight Sovereign again just for another bite."
"That good, huh?"
"It only exists on the Rayya. And Rannoch, of course."
She leaned on the counter next to her and pointed with her chin to a group of 'tourists' (as the Rayya's home dwellers called them) line up to get their small piece of fruit. Many of them bounced on their toes or tilted their heads to get a better look out of the man near the front slice it up for them to sample.
"See that?" Tali said.
"Yeah." He nodded.
"They're visiting. An official field trip. Every quarian takes a visit to one of the live-ships someday. And part of that field trip is to get some of that." She pointed at the guy who started inserting the sliced fruit in a device that would purify, seal, and package the single slice to be distributed.
"How do they eat it?" John asked, puzzled.
"SM-10's." She turned to him to explain, "Solid Meal, Version 10. With the right stuff, they can eat it right here without having to take off their helmets.
"All that just to eat." He whispered sadly, "How often do they get to do this?"
"Once. That's it." Tali shrugged and looked at the line of quarians happily getting their wrapped piece of fruit, "Part of me wants to sneak in line for some. But that'd be wrong. And Pas over there knows me anyways."
John, inwardly, frowned.
Not just two hours ago, he had a sizable helping of some packaged pineapple to snack on while Tali showed him around the Rayya.
Close to four hundred years before, the weirdly shaped earth fruit was a delicacy to large parts of Europe, and to an extension, Colonial America. It was so rare and expensive, that people would, quite literally, 'rent' the fruit just to have it on display at the host's party or celebration.
A conversation piece to brag about during the festivities with drink, fall-off-the-bone pork, and jam.
To sample its deliciousness would have cost thousands of credits if one were to compare the price today.
To the quarians, it was that rare. Actually, more rare than that.
And here he was with a whole box back on the Neema full of the damn things in single serve packets.
It was curse in its own right. Some things needed to be taken for granted. And the list of things the quarians could take for granted could probably fit on a post-it.
And those things were family and friends.
He stuffed the negative thought to the back of his mind.
"Maybe I can get in the line for you." John joked by leaning next to her. He put on a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"Please. A quarian could spot you a light year away."
"Okay. Funny. A space pun. Like I haven't heard of that one before."
She snorted and laughed. "And you haven't ever used one? Who doesn't like a good space pun?"
He ignored her. "Here's a good substitute, Tali. Next chance you get, buy some dextrose sugar in bulk. And eat it."
"That's disgusting."
"Maybe." He crossed his arms and pointed with an elbow at the bundle of quarians chewing away and conversing about the experience, "But you'll lose the sweet tooth."
Tali shook her head and leaned closer to him so their arms touched. "I don't know how we always end up talking about weird things like this."
"Neither do I."
She nodded quickly. "Not that I'm complaining." She said quickly.
"It's better than talking about you know what." He breathed with a sigh.
She stayed quiet for a moment. "Well. That's the end of the tour. We can do part two and three whenever we get the chance to visit again. The shuttle's going to be leaving back to the Neema soon anyways. Best if we get to the docking bay."
"Thanks Tali. I had a lot of fun. And seeing everyone staring at me was the best part. Especially the other quarian women. Hot damn. Pretty good looking veil's man. I tell you."
"Tali'Zorah. Commander Shepard."
Tali's head tilted at the familiar voice. She turned around and was surprised to see her dad's assistant.
"Keenlah…" Tali stuttered, "Hi… what can we do for you?"
"Your father wishes to speak with the commander." Keenlah said, staring blankly at both of them.
Tali hung her shoulders in worry and tried to hide it.
"Oh, that's fine, I guess." She turned to John and shrugged, "Come on. Let's go, John."
"Alone." Keenlah added flatly.
Tali's words left her mouth. Her jaw hung for a moment and looked at John again. When nothing came out of him either, she shrugged worriedly. "Okay…" she whispered. Her hands started wringing anxiously.
"But, how will we get back to the Neema?"
"He'll be taking a separate ride back." Keenlah answered.
Tali didn't like this at all. Alone was one thing, but she wasn't going to take a trip to the Neema and leave John on the Rayya. Call her clingy, but if something bad was going to happen, she was going to be right there for it. Her shoulder's straightened out.
"I'm not leaving." Tali said with finality, "I'll wait." She crossed her arms and dared Keenlah to disagree.
When Keenlah was going to argue even further, John raised a hand to save the woman's breath.
"That's perfectly fine. I can go. No big deal."
"I'm still not leaving." Tali said.
"You can bring that up with Admiral Zorah." Keenlah relented, "Follow me, you're father's pressed for time."
While Tali waited outside her father's office, John stepped inside, alone, and saw Rael with his hands clasped behind him watching the ships that would pass by his window.
It was quiet. Other than Rayya's thrumming hum of her gryo-ducts and slowly moving sludge of biomass meters below their feet, was John's erratic, anxiety ridden, gulps of breath.
He did not want to get into another argument with the guy.
"Reporting as requested, Admiral." Shepard announced. Out of formality, he stood at parade rest and looked ahead.
Rael finally turned around and faced the human.
"At ease, Mr. Shepard."
John took his moment to look around his office. Beside his desk, computer, notebook, and pen holder, it was bare.
Not a single frame of his wife or a holo of his daughter.
No doodled drawings Tali had drawn when she was young…
No letters, or notes, or a meaningful card his wife would have given him…
There wasn't the barest hint of anything that would remind him of family.
Above his desk, however, was a single picture of a sunny and bright shoreline. Above that, was a shelf full of colored patches of fabric, stitched with small insignias that had to be the human equivalent of medals he'd earned over his career.
Either Tali wasn't exaggerating with the resource supply, or Rael kept a thick line between what was considered professional and not.
Both equally depressing answers.
Would his home be any different?
John couldn't find himself an answer when Rael sat down in his chair.
"Please. Sit."
John sat.
"You wanted to see me?"
"Yes. I did." Rael took off his omni-bracelet and set it aside next to his notebook before sighing.
"Tell me why I should let you stay."
John's brows furrowed, and, with a second to think, spoke.
"She came back from pilgrimage." Was all he managed to say.
Rael leaned back, turned his chair around, and pointed to the portrait of the shoreline above them both.
"You see that?"
"It's the Capital of Veras. Her shoreline." He explained with a wary whisper, "Considered one of the most beautiful on the entire planet of Rannoch. Just south of the republics of Gera and Raymoh. Formally considered a meeting ground for international affairs."
John stayed quiet and listened.
"They'd sit in the sand, under Rannoch's sun, and discuss the continuity of a country's relationship to the other. Fares and goods, trades and tariffs, exports and imports."
"What republic did Veras belong to?" John put in curiously.
"Veras belonged to the Grand Republics of Moranah. That picture… Is older than you, than me, and any krogan alive today."
Now that John got a better look out of it, it really did look old. He wondered, just for a moment, how it'd been preserved so well.
"That's old."
"It is. Passed down the line, generation after generation… and eventually to me." Rael finally turned back around, "The Zorah's we're descendants of Moranah." He stated factually, "They were the envoys of our republic… and one of the last cities on Rannoch to fall during our exile."
Rael looked back at the picture again, like he did every day he was in his office, and shook his head.
"I'm sure you know very well of what happened during our exile."
"Tali has made me very aware, yes." John answered.
"It was the downfall of my entire species." Rael began anyway, "Two hundred eighty nine years we've been without a homeworld. And not once during these past three centuries, has anyone lent a hand to helping the quarian cause."
Rael took one small breath and held it. "Billions dead. Parents murdered in their homes. Children, slaughtered in their schools. Families killed in their living room begging for their lives. It was genocide in its entirety. One to be talked about in a history book for millennia to come."
Everything Rael said John agreed with.
But John knew he'd never truly understand what it was like to be denied even the most basic of freedoms that the rest of the galaxy took for granted.
And while John was intrigued by the small history lesson, he didn't exactly know where Rael was going with this.
"But something peculiar happened." Rael continued, "The man in front of me, a human, fought the geth and defeated them, and was the very first to -ever- help a quarian the way you did." He webbed his fingers together and set them on his notebook.
"According to Tali, you saved her life. Helped her with her pilgrimage, and allowed her access to the Normandy and everything within. Paid her even, for her services as an equal."
"All true." John affirmed.
"Why?" Rael asked.
John smiled and leaned as far back as comfort would allow; but wondered how he could answer the question without coming off as a pompous boasting ass.
"Why…?" John looked down momentarily.
The answer was obvious.
"Tali earned it." He said in a thoughtful whisper, "I'd give my life for her if I had to. No questions asked."
Rael nodded and, for once, looked like he was smiling, albeit slightly. "I can't say which direction the future of my species is going… but if I had any say, you certainly were a step in the right direction for my daughter."
Rael's head dipped and it reminded John of Tali. "...Thank you, for what you did for her, Commander." He mumbled.
"You don't have to thank me sir. She deserves much more."
Rael nodded slowly and looked back up.
The man in front of him was definitely the same man his daughter had fallen in love with.
And while a human wouldn't have been the first option he'd want for his daughter, he couldn't complain. Saving the galaxy with Tali on his side scored the man some points worthy of keeping, he supposed.
"I couldn't agree more. You're free to leave. Welcome to the Flotilla, Shepard. With luck, the Neema's captain can push some papers and have you become an official member of her crew."
John's brows rose in surprise.
That easy then?
No long lasting animosity?
No butting heads?
No cell to be escorted to?
Just a little talk and little exchange of words?
Shit… That went better than expected.
"Thank you, Admiral." John stood up, saluted the man, and walked out.
The door opened, and Tali whirled around with a wide-eyed expression.
"Keelah. What happened?"
John smiled and reassured her with a pat on the shoulder. "Nothing. We're on good terms now, Tali. Let's go home."
"I was expecting you to be in there for hours… I think we still can make it in time for the ship to bring us back home if we run."
John chuckled, "Okay! Let's go."
Three Hours Later…
"Pass me the bolts."
"Which ones…?" John looked dumbly at the dozens of fastening bolts. Next to small pile was Tali's box of oddly shaped gizmos and tools Shepard couldn't put names to.
"The bigger ones. Right there. To your left, Shepard." Juel said in a hurry.
John handed him the bolts and Juel hovered them over the open holes. "Okay, hurry the hell up… I can't hold the pipe up forever."
"I thought your new arm was supposed to make this easier." Tali called out as she drilled the screw through the bolt Juel was holding.
"It's still connected to a regular fleshy socket. I can still get tired."
"So this is what it's like?" John asked, "Day in and day out? Replacing pipes with new ones?"
Tali shrugged as she searched for a new drill bit. "…And guessing where you put your tools. So yeah. That's about it."
"Tali's lying." Juel remarked pointedly, "It's a lot more complicated than she would care to admit. The other half is praying the equipment forum doesn't crash when you're downloading something from the compartment cloud."
Tali groaned. "Ugh. You can't imagine how many times the Neema loses the Flotilla's intranet connection. And it always seems to be when you're downloading a diagram for making something." Tali finally found the right drill bit and started screwing the bolts in again.
"That sucks…" John said.
Tali nodded. "It'd be easier just to have the whole list locally… but you're talking about having millions of parts on your omni-tool." Tali pat Juel on the shoulder to tell him she was done.
"It's just not worth it." Juel finished for her.
"Why not just use the extranet then if the Neema's intranet sucks?" John mused.
"Because the Flotilla's forums have information extranet websites lack. Mainly hands-on quarian input." Tali answered.
Juel watched the pipe's PSI dial return to normal.
"All that work just to replace one little sensor…" John shook his head.
"Yup." Juel croaked, "Looks like we fixed it. O-rings are on right and the seal is checking out."
"What's next then?"
"Mundane maintenance checks until we get another call to get something else replaced or fixed." Tali supplied.
"Tell me your worst maintenance nightmare." John asked.
Tali gave John this 'are you serious?' look.
Juel piped up.
"Well, besides cutting my arm in the septic tank and losing it, I'd have to say it was when Tali and I had to take a trip outside the Neema to get the intranet antennae fixed."
"Worst. Ever." Tali quipped with a grunt, "This idiot almost lost the panel to keep the thing in place."
"Yeah." Juel laughed, "I had to tie a rope to Tali's ankle and have her get it back."
John stood shocked. "You don't have EVAs for that?"
"Ordinarily, yes." Tali said while rolling her eyes, "But in order to fix the EVA suit problem, we had to fix the antennae to download the right part first."
"And there's no… contingency for this? Don't you guys have a second intranet antennae? Or someone to lend an EVA suit from another ship?"
"That was the second one and no, we couldn't borrow one."
"Why didn't you guys just have the piece needed on hand for it?" John asked disbelievingly, "That makes no sense."
"John? Look. Sometimes it happens. We're used to dumb things like that all the time." Tali explained.
Somehow, Tali realized that convincing John that 'this was just how the way things were' wasn't going to fly with him.
As he would say, 'shit happens'.
And shit happened a lot on the Neema.
Dumb shit.
And they were used to it.
"An endless self-perpetuating circle." John murmured with a small frown, "That's bad guys."
"Yup. But we deal." Juel shrugged, "But it's not like we've got a choice in the matter."
"Maybe." John said, nonplussed, "It just worries me that Tali's life was in the balance with only a rope tied to her foot. That's all."
John and Tali groaned.

Product Description
Berlin-based producer Sascha Ring, aka Apparat, positioned his DJ Kicks mix, released in 2010, as a farewell to the dancefloor-focussed section of his career. His label Shitkatapult continues to release house and techno, but with The Devil's Walk Ring appears to have abandoned tracks that aim to move bodies in favour of songs that aim to move hearts.
The sonic touchstones for The Devil's Walk include Junior Boys, M83, the melancholic pop of Maximilian Hecker and, most obviously, Sigur Rós. The Icelandic band's predilection for surging anthems that quiver between celebration and sorrow looms large on Song of Los and Black Water, while The Soft Voices Die is so indebted as to be pastiche.
Elsewhere Ring tends to keep on the right side of influence, but his magpie tendencies remain apparent. The richly melodic A Bang in the Void, for example, apes Steve Reich's counterpoint works of the 1970s, as did Not a Number from his previous solo album, Walls (2007). Ring's attention to detail is typically exquisite here: the looped bowing of a cello provides a droning bassline beneath pitch-bent chimes.
Vocally The Devil's Walk finds Ring in lovelorn, po-faced mood. Song of Los, Black Water and Ash/Black Veil are essentially traditional power ballads given a tasteful electronic spritz: they're catchy, melodramatic, and pretty cheesy. Candil de la Calle pulls a lot of the same moves, but the shuddering lurch of its dubstep-influenced rhythm establishes a more interesting push and pull between vocal and melody. Ring's reliance on the power ballad form is puzzling. It's when he steps away from it, as on closing track Your House is My World, where a tremulous banjo and strings cocoon his Vincent Gallo-like vocal, that he achieves his most startling effects.
It's telling that one of the best songs here doesn't feature Ring behind the microphone. Goodbye resonates with the doom-laden delivery of Anja Plaschg, aka Soap&Skin, intoning above scrabbly clouds of acoustic guitar and piano chords that sink like a corpse in water. If only there was more drama of this sort here, and a little less schmaltz, to bolster Ring's talent as an arranger and a producer.

'The Devil's Walk' is a very intelligent album. Apparat is a smart chap, and it shows. The lyrics across the album are inspired, the vocal performances (largely from Sascha himself) are deep and absorbing, and the balance between recognisable instruments and electronic exploration is finely tuned to perfection. 'Song of Los' is the highlight for me. I must admitt where I part from Wolf's excellent review; I prefer 'Walls' to this album. I feel more track-to-track variation is on show on 'Walls' (feel free to comment if you agree/disagree), and some of the tunes are just that little bit too sombre-pop in style for me.Read more ›
As others have eluded to, it has a much more organic and 'natural' sound compared to Apparat's other work, yet it somehow feels like an electronica album.
It is, at first, difficult to describe. Gentle piano meets strings and deep, electronic undertones that combine to create some deeply moving pieces of music throughout.
The production value, as you would expect from Apparat, is top notch - And it is this that forms part of why each element gels together seamlessly.
Pieces like 'Goodbye' are a fantastic example of the warm, organic beauty of the album and the track 'Candil De La Calle' almost boarders on sounding like a Telefon Tel Aviv track, yet it still manages to encompass the trademark warmth and acoustic that this album has.
In summary, this album is smart, beautiful, exquisitely produced and absolutely essential listening in my book.
Do not let this slip your ears.
'The Devil's Walk' finds him exploring new sonic territory without
compromising his electronic dance credentials. He would seem to have
taken time out to reflect on the nature of his muse and returns
with music possessed of a gentler and more soulful calibre than he
has delivered before. The ten tracks in this collection are high on
reflection and emotion. It is the finest work he has so-far produced.
If the haunting composition 'Goodbye' were the only one at our disposal
I would be satisfied. The eerie presence of Austrian singer Anja Plaschg,
aka Soap & Skin, (please, please do listen to her 2009 album 'Lovetune
For Vacuum'!) made the hair stand up on the back of my neck. The dark
arrangement moves forward at the pace of a heartbeat; Ms Plaschg's
world-weary vocal barely stirring the air around it. A desolate joy!
It's not all about shadows and scratchings in a closed tomb however.
Once 'Song Of Los' gets its skates on we are transported to a land
of light and uplifting beauty where even dance is possible. Mr Ring,
both here and elsewhere has a truly lovely voice. Sweet, sweet melancholy.
The faltering rhythm of 'Candil De La Calle' is another highlight. The
dream-like ambience is shot through with luminous synth chords and a simple
but affecting octave-spaced two-part harmony. A song to warm the blood.
'Escape', too, glimmers like a lone candle in a window guiding us safely home.
The touching melody, evocative lyrics and sublime string setting conveys
one of the loveliest inventions I have heard this year. A song to cherish!Read more ›

- Blog: Women's Soccer and Return on Investment
by Emily Attwood July 2015
In the days after the U.S. Women's soccer team's World Cup win, we've heard a lot of back and forth over the issue of how much the players were paid. The women's team received a record-setting $2 million for their win… record-setting for women, that is. Last year, the German men's team earned $35 million for its World Cup win.
"But it's all about the revenue!" claim those who justify the discrepancy. The women's tournament brought in a mere $17 million in sponsorship revenue compared to $529 million for last year's men's World Cup. Thus, because the men bring in more revenue, it only makes sense that they get paid more.
When I was in college, I interned for an editor at a book publishing company. I recall, among the editor's many tales of the publishing world, the story of how he signed one particular new author and set her up for success. Her work was good, he said, but she was relatively unknown and still new.
For those more familiar with coaching contracts than book contracts, book contracts typically pay an advance, anything as low as a couple thousand dollars (J.K. Rowling was given a £1500 advance on the first Harry Potter book) to upwards of $100,000, if you're an established name. If a new author doesn't go over well with the audience, the publisher hasn't lost much. If they're good, the publisher simply ups the advance on the next book.
Rather than offering this new author something at the lower end of the spectrum as would befit the situation, the editor swung big. I don't recall the exact dollar amount, but I think it was at least $20,000 (chump change for a pro athlete, but a big deal for a struggling writer).
His reasoning? The more the publisher invested in an author, the harder it would work to ensure her success, giving her a preferred launch date, better marketing and visibility. Part of this was about recouping the investment — book advances are paid against royalties, which means a larger advance needs to be offset by greater book sales if the publisher wants to come out ahead.
What does this have to do with soccer?
I'm not in the sports marketing business. I'm not even in the book marketing business. But I do know that a product's success is as much about the effort that goes into marketing it as the quality of the product itself.
Don't justify lower pay for female athletes by pointing to the lower revenue they generate — they're not the ones negotiating sponsorship contracts or selling commercial slots. In the case of women's soccer, FIFA secretary general Jerome Valcke attributes the lower revenues to women's soccer being a newer sport than men's.
"We played the [20th] men's World Cup in 2014, when we are now playing the seventh women's World Cup," Valcke said in December press conference. "We have still another [13] World Cups before potentially women should receive the same amount as men. The men waited until 2014 to receive as much money as they received."
Or, how about this: Pay the players what they're worth, and then put in the effort to back that investment up.

Michael Binz, a managing director at Standard & Poors, said the degree of enthusiasm in the securitization market was where it had not been in years. "A year ago, the mood was starkly different," he said. "There were fewer investors participating, supply was rapid diminishing, and regulatory uncertainty was stifling market activity." By comparison, "Today many sectors of the market are rallying, investors have returned, there's a level of enthusiasm and demand we haven't seen in years." Also, "there's a degree of regulatory certainty taking shape."
Last year was a good year for spread products, said Gagan Singh, chief investment officer at PNC Bank, a view echoed by others at the conference. The tightening, he said, was both justified and a long time in the making. But after such a strong rally in 2012, Singh said, certain asset classes are already looking rich. This year, sector and security selection willl be important.
One sector where spreads are likely to keep tightening is collateralized loan obigations. That's partly because CLO spread tighening to date has lagged that in other sectors, such as commercial mortgage backed securities. Leland Hart, a managing director at BlackRock, said scarcity of loans that are good candidates for CLOs will also contribute to further tightening. The demand side is not in question whatsoever, Hart said.
The REO to rental market has come a long way since Fannie Mae first announced plans to dispose of a large prortfolio of real-estate-owned homes. A year ago, the idea of a lending against a large portfolio of leased homes was foreign concept, whereas people have gotten their heads around the combination of the security and the assets and the cashflow generated, said Gary Beasley, managing director of Waypoint Homes. He said most money center banks have term sheets out or facilities in place to finance the warehousing of these properties. On the other hand, yields on REO to rentals are not as attractive as they were a year ago, before there were so many investors bidding them up. Still, Beasley said, the potential returns are better because players have a better view of how they could ultimately exit the investments.
Among the many hurdles to issuing coverd bonds in the U.S. is that the market does not have the vocal champions that other businesses do. While covered bond havent had any big detractors, they havent had any big supporters [either], said Anna Pinedo, a partner at Morrison & Foerster.
For those that do want the market to happen, they need the FDIC to come on board. The regulatory agency is leery of having strong assets ring-fenced for the benefit of bondholders in the case of a bankruptcy. But Pinedo said that there was talk that the agency could be amenable to covered bond legislation that would set a cap on the volume of covered bonds issued by a bank as a percentage of its total assets.
After last years false start, the GSEs plan to introduce risk-sharing bonds this year. Mark Hanson, senior vice president of securitization at Freddie Mac, said the agencies hope to issue pilot transactions this year before setting up a more programmatic approach. The commitment is as strong as ever to get that done in 2013, he added, saying the GSEs do not have to wait until they have launched the single securitization platform to move forward on this product, although once that infrastructure were in place the issuance of these bonds could be sizable.
Regulators risk stifling a recovery in the securitization market if they subject privately offered securities to the same disclosure and reporting requirements as public offerings, SEC Commissioner Troy Paredes said in a keynote speech. The commissioner noted that he had supported proposal of Regulation AB II rules last year in large part to give the financial industry the opportunity to provide feedback. But he said he is concerned that the proposals might go too far in treating the private market like the public market. "Generally speaking ... the private market ought to be treated differently. Paredas said, adding that the sophisticated investors who buy these securities can fend for themselves.
